FAQs

Filters can be rendered to screen using any of the following form element styles:

• Range Slider
• Checkbox
• Radio
• Select & Multi-Select
• Text Input
• Date Picker

You can create filters based on any of the following WordPress query parameters:

• Post Type
• Category
• Tags
• Taxonomy
• Ordering (order, orderby, sort)
• Search
• Custom Fields (Meta Query)
• Authors
• Date (year, month, day)

When a filter is saved or modified it is stored as an option in the WordPress Options table.

All filters are prefixed with the alm_filter_prefix in the options table.

No, once a filter has been deleted it is gone for good.

Select 2

Using Select2 inside a Filters instance will require you to manually dispatch change events so the add-on can respond to the event.

$('.alm-filters select').on('select2:select', function() {
   var e = this;
   var val = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
   var selectChange = new Event('change');
   e.dispatchEvent(selectChange);
});

jQuery UI

$("#taxonomy-select-1").selectmenu({ 
   change: function(event, ui) { 
      var e = this;
      var val = ui.item.value; 
      var selectChange = new Event('change'); 
      e.dispatchEvent(selectChange); 
   } 
});

To adjust the order of terms you can use the available term ordering hooks or create your own term listing using the alm_filters_{id}_{key} hook.

This is a common issue and in most cases the problem is core Ajax Load More shortcode parameters.

The core ALM shortcode requires a filters and target parameter to be set, these value link the shortcodes together – this is outlined here.
